Israeli army closes off Arroub camp with metal gates

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday evening sealed off the main entrances to al-Arroub refugee camp, north of al-Khalil province, with metal gates.

According to local sources, the IOF closed off al-Arroub’s southwestern and western entrances, blocking the access of Palestinian vehicles and civilians out of and into the area, home to some 7,000 Palestinians.

The Israeli army claimed that an Israeli settler sustained mild injuries after he was hurled with stones as he passed through the local thoroughfare.
